Chapter 0241: Busy Spring
When the banquet was dispersed, each of Li Ang's guests gave a bag of "Ming Qian Jade Girl" tea, even Li Rong was no exception. Advertise, the right minister's house is a rare platform, isn't it.
Having said that, the name given by the handsome old guy Li Jin is really sassy!
At present, during the Chinese New Year, everyone is tired of eating every day, and it is most suitable to drink some tea.
In the past, those teas, with onions, ginger, salt, lard, cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, etc., a lot of condiments, such tea, it may be more appropriate to call eight-treasure porridge, there is no tea taste, and it can not play the role of hangover and greasy.
Li Ang used to love tea, where can he stand that taste. In addition, when he was in Jiannan, he wanted to rob the Zhao family's tea business, so he asked people to try out according to the processes of spreading, finishing, rolling, and drying, and he got ten catties like this, and the taste was okay.
As for the twelve or thirteen-year-old cardamom girl who used to pick tea, she only went up the mountain to pick tea after bathing and fasting for three days, it is pure nonsense, but it is just to add a layer of elegant coat to this tea, which leads people to reverie, and then increases the attractiveness of this tea.
With the praise of King Ruyang, Han Ruosu and others, as well as the spread of Li Ang's two poems, the reputation of "Jade Girl before the Ming Dynasty" tea soon spread in Chang'an high society.
Some literati, with curiosity, went to the east and west to look for it, but unfortunately they couldn't find this kind of tea at all.
But the more you can't find it, the more people inquire, and the more famous the Jade Maiden Tea in the Ming Dynasty becomes.
Some literati had no choice but to chant Li Ang's two poems, "A hook of curtains is far away; Half a couch qin book long day, tandoor slow cooking Nanshan water, Han book read the new tea fragrance. Then, from the poem, experience the elegant fragrance of tea.
Li Ang didn't expect it either. I tried it by chance, and it would make such a big impact. It seems that fame is really a good thing. It can easily affect a lot of people.
This is similar to Li Bai if he says which wine is particularly delicious, which will definitely make many people rush to it.
Xiao Luan was happy. I went to Li Ang's house to thank him.
She smiled brightly, and said with a smile: "Li Lang, I know that with your current influence, as long as you advocate it again, you will definitely make this tea famous." ”
Li Ang closed the "Zuo Chuan" in his hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao doesn't have to be polite, when you come to me, just feel free." I've heard that many people are now inquiring about this Ming Qian Jade Maiden Tea. Not available for purchase. This situation must not last long, otherwise the heat will not be good once it passes. ”
Xiao Luan replied: "I have sent people back to Jiannan and Jiangnan, but no matter how fast it is, it will take two months." Li Ang, you can't give away all those tea leaves, or invite some celebrities in Beijing to taste tea from time to time, and make a tea tasting poem from time to time to circulate, so as to make the reputation of this tea more resounding. ”
Xiao Luan's idea is not bad. It's a pity that Li Ang smiled and said, "You, you can write this poem if you want to?" I also hollowed out my mind to come up with those two songs. Besides, I didn't bring much tea from Jiannan. A few days ago, they each sent some of them to the king of Ruyang, and now the landlord's family has no surplus food. ”
Xiao Luan walked to his desk, rarely showed a playful smile and said, "I don't care about this." You're in charge of the publicity, and you have to make sure that the tea doesn't get hot anyway. In the future, if you make money, you will net 30% of your income. Don't slack off~ I'll try to make new tea as soon as possible. ”
As soon as she got closer, Leon could smell a faint fragrance coming from her, which made people feel intoxicated, and he leaned back in his chair, pretending to be relaxed, and took two deep breaths.
Xiao Luan was keenly aware of this, and her delicate face couldn't help but be slightly hot.
Li Ang said seriously: "An item, packaging is very important. This jade girl tea in front of the Ming Dynasty cannot be packaged casually, and high-quality tea leaves must be customized with special porcelain tea cans. Well, the tea can or depict landscapes, or use ladies' pictures, and then attach verses, in short, to highlight an elegant word;
In addition, remember to have the name of our tea shop and the stamp; If it's a little worse, it should also be packaged in a paper pot. This tea has just come out, and there will not be many people who drink it, so you can only take the high-end route and sell it as a luxury product, otherwise you won't be able to make money. ”
"Li Lang, don't worry, I'll do this now." Although Xiao Luan wanted to stay with him for a while, the Ministry of Rites was about to arrive, and he was afraid that it would affect his time, so he said, "Does Li Lang have anything else to say?" If not, then I'll take my leave. ”
"Not for the time being, why does Mrs. Xiao come and go in a hurry, how about staying for a meal tonight?"
"No, it won't affect your study, I have to hurry up to do this, otherwise the tea will arrive, and the tea can has not been made yet, so it will have to be delayed again." When Xiao Luan was leaving, he didn't forget to advise, "Li Lang, it's cold at night, don't stay up too late, so as not to affect the spring exam." ”
"Xiao Luan!" Li Ang looked at the back of her leaving, and suddenly called out her name, Xiao Luan's concerned words just now made him warm, but he stopped her, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he only said, "Thank you!" ”
Xiao Luan's heart warmed, and she smiled and said, "Didn't Li Lang let me be casual?" Why are you polite instead? ”
"Hehe....... then I won't send it."
After Xiao Luan left, Li Ang opened the "Zuo Chuan" and continued to read, "The Zuo Chuan" is one of the two major classics to be examined in the Jinshi Subject, and its content is more than that of the "Book of Rites", which takes more time to do.
"Lang Jun! Pimp! Wang Er said that...... Then Li Liulang is here again......" As soon as Li Ang read two pages, Xiaoxue ran in breathlessly to report.
"Li Liulang is here again!" Leon had no choice but to throw down the book and rush to the front yard.
He thought that Li Liulang was looking for trouble again, he injured Wang Er last time, and Wang Er is still not good at walking these days.
As a result, when he arrived at the gate, he found Li Liulang waiting outside the door honestly, and when he saw Li Ang, his expression was even a little uncomfortable.
Li Ang was a little surprised, he arched his hand and said, "Liulang, you are ......."
Li Liulang wanted to speak and stopped, his expression became more and more embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment before he said as if he was open-minded: "I came, I didn't mean anything else, it was my father....... my father had to deal with complicated official business every day, and it was inevitable that he would be a little tired...... This, where can I buy the tea you gave me last time? ”
No wonder, Li Liulang is so twisted and pinched, and he dares to come with a request.
Li Ang smiled secretly, this matter can be used as promotional material for new tea!
He was not stingy, and said with a smile: "This tea, no matter how much money you spend elsewhere now, you can't buy it." Since it's the right minister who wants to drink, I don't dare to hide my secrets, so I'll get you some tea. But let's not hide it, I don't have much left, so I can only give you two more. Rokuro will invite you to sit in the room first. ”
Li Liulang said: "Thank you, I'll just wait here." ”
Li Ang instructed Xiaoxue to go back and wrap two taels of tea leaves and take them out to give to Li Liulang, Li Liulang didn't want to owe him favors, so he asked people to carry half a sack of money, and then left in a hurry with his entourage.
Li Ang counted it, half a sack of money, weighing seventy or eighty catties, in fact, it was only ten pounds. Well, two taels of tea can be sold for ten yuan, or it is sold to the prime minister of the dynasty, which is very good.
"Wang Er, Li Qi, Xiaole, if you go out, don't forget to tell people about it, hahaha......"
"Yes, Lang Jun!"
Li Ang returned to the study, and as soon as he opened the book, Xiaoxue came to report again: "Lang Jun, there is another person outside, saying that it is from Mrs. Qiuguo's house, Second Brother Wang said that Lang Jun is not here, but they just don't leave, they insist on letting Lang Jun go out......"
Depend on! It seems that I can't read with peace of mind now. Li Ang threw the "Left Biography" in his hand and got up and went to the front yard.
When the two guards in Mrs. Qiu's mansion saw him come out, they hurriedly bowed: "Li Langjun!" ”
Leon said unhappily, "What's the matter? Did you really break in? ”
With a thud, the two guards were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and begged: "Li Langjun, how dare you be a little one, it's just that Madame asked us to invite Li Langjun to come to the house, if we can't invite it, it's too late to go back, and we have to be beaten to death by Madame." Li Langjun, you can do it, don't embarrass the little ones, please! ”
"Yes, Li Langjun, Mrs. heard that Li Langjun has new tea, please Li Langjun bring some new tea over and let Mrs. taste it. Li Langjun, can you hurry up, it's too late to go back, Madam is angry, and the little life will be lost! ”
The two guards have already kowtowed, and Mrs. Qiu Guo has never been soft on her subordinates, especially the ones who offended Li Ang that day, and now the end, not to mention how miserable it is. They're having palpitations.
Li Ang knew that the so-called tea tasting was probably just an excuse for Mrs. Qiu, and Li Ang couldn't pass for many days, and this rouge horse was afraid that he would be in heat again.
Seeing that the two guards were about to stumble, Li Ang said, "Okay, get up, I'll go get some tea, and I'll go over." ”
To the south of Chongrenfang, next to Chunming Street is Pingkangfang, the distance between the two is only a mile, and the horseback riding is just a moment.
The Lady of Qiuguo's mansion, which covers an incomparably wide area, once again made Li Ang a little dizzy, and the courtyard was one by one, and under the guidance of the two maids, he didn't know how many doors he passed, and finally came to a gorgeous hall.
Mrs. Qiu Guo dressed up, her palace skirt dragged to the ground, and plum blossom makeup was pasted on her eyebrows, and the charm of the mature woman became more and more attractive. Seeing Li Ang coming, she couldn't wait to run down, and she was directly tired of Li Ang, without any scruples that more than a dozen maids were watching.
"Li Lang, you are here." This woman is into the bones, charming, with a pair of bright moons on her chest half-covered and half-exposed, and the ravines are deep.
Leon smiled, "Did you miss me?" How much do you want to? ”
Mrs. Qiu Guo said angrily: "You have no conscience, you have been gone for more than ten days, not to mention coming to see me, not even a single message, if I hadn't sent someone to invite, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come." ”
Li Ang picked her up horizontally, buried his head in a pair of bright moons on her chest, and said while arching wildly: "I have to prepare for the exam during this time, and you don't know it." I warn you, don't complain during this time, or see how I fix you. ”
Mrs. Yu Guo was numb by him, her body was heating up rapidly, a pair of jade arms wrapped around his neck, kissed his ear, and said, "Wrongdoer, take me in quickly.......".
